We Love the Little Gym

We love the Little Gym!!  Eric and Rubie look forward to their Little Gym classes each week.  Rubie's class is on Tuesday mornings and Eric's is on Wednesday afternoons.  They love their teachers and the fun activities.

I not do it, Miss Nicole!

One of Rubie's favorite activities is running with a scarf, a pink scarf.

She loves running on the mat in general, but with the scarf, it is extra fun.

While Rubie is in class Eric entertains himself in the observation/main room.  Sometimes there is a teacher there to talk to or build a paper airplane for him, and sometimes there is another kid to play with.

Rubie is getting to be good on the balance beam.

She loves doing a bear walk on the parallel bars.

She can hang and with help can get her toes up and even go over the bar.

She can do somersaults all her own.  Here she gets a little help starting from a wide leg seated position.

She also loves playing with the balls.

Every class ends with bubbles.  Sometimes she catches them with her tongue, belly, face, or fingers.

Eric has two teachers, Mr. Joe and Miss Sarah.  His class is half sports skills and half tumbling skills.  He has really enjoyed it.

Sometimes tumbling and sports skills are combined.
